gender dysphoria isn't a choice:

Gender dysphoria is a medical condition characterized by a disconnection between someone's assigned and perceived genders. Individuals with gender dysphoria usually identify themselves as transgendered or transsexual, depending on their ideological feelings about sex and gender. Some transgendered individuals also disagree with the categorization of gender dysphoria as a medical condition, as part of a larger exploration of gender identity and what &#8220;normal&#8221; gender is. It is also important to differentiate a transvestite from someone with gender dysphoria; medically, a transvestite is someone who wears clothing belonging to the opposite gendergendergender, but is both happy and secure with his or her gender identity.

Individuals with gender dysphoria usually identify themselves as transgendered or transsexual, depending on their ideological feelings about sex and gender. Some transgendered individuals also disagree with the categorization of gender dysphoria as a medical condition, as part of a larger exploration of gender identity and what normal gender is.

Lest we forget that many consider it a mental illness... or in the same groupings with psychological problems including fetishism, pedophilia, transvestism, etc

Much like the claim of a 'gay gene'.... nothing has shown this to be medical or genetic rather than choice or pathology.. and if actually a pathology, just as with the pathology of Apotemnophilia, doctors don't succumb to the 'feeling' and simply change/remove the limb on whim for that pathology, maybe sex changes resulting from that diagnosis should be scrutinized too

Whatever...

She was a girl, now physically looking like a guy because of surgery... he/she/it is supposedly happy... on to real news

Have they found that "left handed" gene yet? Or does it not exist?

Apparently, by simply asking this question I was neg-repped by Diamond Dave. Since when does asking a simple question earn neg-reps? Oops! That's another question, isn't it? I'm sooooo sorry!
